Black cherry Project

Looking good!

I have a sort of odd request. Since you seem handy with a camera and it takes good pics can you get me a close shot of the steering wheel to rack boot at the firewall. Driver's side, can't miss it. Appreciate it!

Yuh, I'll try and get you a pic when I get a chance.


But got my head for it. It's all ported, BC springs and retainers, revised lifters and valves, also some ARP headstuds :D

BTW what are you tuning with? I just got DSMlink and logged my cars first start-up since last June tonight. I can already see what the hype is all about.

That's the same clear cover I went w/ it looks real nice in action.

I'm going to have my cam gears powdercoated as well :)

But I have Ostrich/ Tuner Pro for my tuning. Www.moates.net

Sucks only having time Sat night and on Sundays.. makes it go really slow!!
Anyways, we're working on making our own spark plug cover out of some nice SS.

Looks liek your cleaning it up very well. More pics!

Lol.. not really anything more to take pics of right now. I did rebuild my TB by myself :)
Other then that, not much to work on.. waiting on all the gaskets and seals so I can get it back together :)

Jealousy doesnt quite describe my feeling reading this thread.

.. Don't worry, it'll be slow.. then you'll be like LOL at me

Got the interior all finished up. New shift boot, momo shift knob and the door inserts all in:

And in the car:

Seems like it's getting so close, but sucks since there's still a lot to do!

The VC looks fucking mad cool because it matches the car's paint. That turned out really cool.

Kekeke :D Ya!! I can't wait to get the matching intake manifold on

I love when everything is spotless, looks soooooo sexy!!! Congrats, everything is looking awesome.

Thanks.. and as per request ned.... and update :)

I still have alot of work to do, feels like it'll never get done at this rate, but it's slowly coming along.
I still gotta finish up with the wiring, get the injectors in, hook up the FPR, do the brake lines, get the Evo rotors and 3kgt calipers on, fit the fmic and make the piping, get the 4 bolt in, rear struts changed out, and install/ re-wire the fuel pump.. *gasp*

But today, went out Auto-xing and then tonight got a bit more done:

No but my husband has a brother ;)
But I had just saved up, bought the 3000gt, sold the 3000gt and felt like I won the lottery. So far I've spent around 3k including the purchase of the car.. Plus Brendan gave me a few parts :D

I just want the red & purple wrenches o.O

do you have a sister?



Lol, thats what Im sayin.

Lol.. just a brother-in-law.. he's kinda pretty..

Got the brakes on:

Gauges in:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/k1ttylitter/BCproject/DSC07513.jpg

Did you do the 1G vacuum line removal as well cause that firewall is looking pretty bare? and that's the way I like it.

Lol.. thanks :)
.. too many! I'm only claiming 3 dsms as mine
We have:
90 red talon - (ear broke off on the block, getting sold)
92 red laser - (60-1 car, going to auto since Brendan can't shift)
94 red talon - (getting a motor in and selling)
91 green eclipse - (auto, Brendan's DD)
91 blue talon - (needs a crank)
91 black cherry - (needs core support, got hit in front)
91 black cherry - (My car, this thread)
91 silver talon - (my car, other thread)
91 silver eclipse - (my DD)
92 white laser - (parts car)
91 black gaylant - (burn victim)

(they're all AWD)






are any of the black cherry ones for sale lol i really need a parts car and if so how much... oh and are any of them still able to drive on the road????

lol.. We've actually already sold all the ones we're not keeping.

Brendan actually got rid of a ton of the wiring and extra lines.. I do not like all that stuff, so I just told him get rid of what I don't need :D Sad to say, but I do not know very much when it comes to that, so the less there, the better off for me. Wiring frustrates me.

Just working on prettying it up :D

I love that Hello Kittey picture on the side of your TPS.

Sick engine. I love the simplicity of the color scheme, looks real nice. The powercoated purple along with the aluminum, and just enough stainless/polished stuff....its sweetskee

I love that Hello Kittey picture on the side of your TPS.

Thats not the TPS... its the Cam Positioning Sensor...

Nice work. I'm starting a project soon. Well as soon as I have all the parts and help from another member here. Dropping a Evo7/8 turbo engine in my Eclipse GS (originaly with a 420a)

Damn Kittay, that looks awesome. Really good setup, gotta love the chrome/purple sparkle.

Thats not the TPS... its the Cam Positioning Sensor...


I new that LOL!!! But none the less nice set up Kittay keep up the work.

*sigh* If only my purple baby was half that sexy... :(

*sigh* If only my purple baby was half that sexy... :(

Turn her into a 2G, then you'd be on the road to recovery

Its a honest mistake...

Maybe I should have waited till a noob say: Why is the TPS on the side of the engine... and not on the intake.

because the TPS isnt on the intake... :loser:

Do you have a picture of the other side kittay?

looking great

I'll get some more pics up later with the other side :)
But thor, don't feel bad, yours is a lot prettier on the outside!!

I see... the TB then... Honest mistake.

But its still part of the intake. Just my :2cents:

That is perhaps one of the sexiest engines I have ever seen! Your a lucky girl

Lol thanks :)
Looking at the silver GSX compared to this one, it makes the silver one look messy.. lol!!

Ned, quit e-hitting on kittay. :rofl:

I think he's e-hitting on my car not me....

I am deffinetly hitting on the car

Got quite a bit done today..
Injectors are in, water pump in, timing all done, finished rebuilding the TB, worked on the wiring and tucking..

O hot damn!!!

you hid your ppr in the same place I did. Looks awesome.

ppr? you mean fpr? ;)

Got anything else done on the car?

ummm... yuh... nope.
Last weekend, we went racing. This weekend is Brendan's birthday. Next weekend is our anniversary. I really really hope it'll run sometime in June.

We're going to be making all new piping for the fmic. Have to re-do the O2 dump for the WG... and alot more stuff

Got a few more parts picked up- 38mm WG, Fuel Lab inline fuel filter, EBC..

Got a bit more done under the hood, getting closer

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/k1ttylitter/BCproject/DSC07569.jpg

Nice work on the engine I only hope that I too will soon be able to do that kinda job on my gst.I am still learning after all its my first turboed dsm

looking good kitty!

Finally got a bit more done :)

Piping is done, aside from the open dump. We cut it, welded on a flange for the 38mm, and are waiting on the 1 3/4 pipe to come in (sigh backordered stuff). As soon as that comes, it will get welded on and everything will be going off to be powdercoated!

Got the FPR all hooked up and new lines on the fuel pump. Also waiting for my Fuel Lab inline fuel pump to come in the mail...
